errr puzzled...I think you'll find I'd be the last person to banish football from the park given I coach a ladies footy group there every Sunday. Two years ago there was no pitch on this section of grass. There may have been the year before but when I started playing there, there wasn't. The reason being the cracking up of the ground makes sense though. Having said that, these are pitches that cost ?50 an hour to hire and can't be used by anyone who doesn't pay to do so.


Encroachment would be what happened last season when two junior pitches were painted onto the section of grass along the East Side just outside the park, a section that has never been used for hire of pitches. So it has happened before.

fyi, the junior football club alongside the east field hve always played five a side for the teenies alongside the main pitches. a couple of years ago the council merely painted a few lines for them. I am sure the club pays or the privilege.


if you are a football person you must agree that five side is preferable to many other things young people get up to in the park and elsewhere.


incidentally, do you really run a LADIES football (never footie) group? are the participants really all women of title? if so, they should pay double

What lol? Yes I really do coach ladies football...have run a group for 18 months and it is FREE for those that attend.....


You are confusing the five a side pitches that are part of the main sports field with the pitches they painted outside of the fence of the park last year. Those pitches have never been there in all the 20 years I have lived alongside the park FYI ;)


But no, I would never argue for removing football for young and old alike, but can also understand the concerns of those that don't want to see other areas used for football apart from those normally designated for such use.

      Oh David / Is David Lammy Toast?

      The current wave of xenophobia is due to powerful/influential people stirring up hatred.  It;'s what happened in the past, think 1930s Germany.  It seems to be even easier now as so many get their information from social media, whether it is right or wrong.  The media seeking so called balance will bring some nutter on, they don't then bring a nutter on to counteract that. They now seem to turn to Reform at the first opportunity. So your life is 'shite', let;s blame someone else.  Whilst sounding a bit like a Tory, taking some ownership/personal responsibility would be a start.  There are some situations where that may be more challenging, in deindustrialised 'left behind' wasteland we can't all get on our bikes and find work.  But I loathe how it is now popular to blame those of us from relatively modest backgrounds, like me, who did see education and knowledge as a way to self improve. Now we are seen by some as smug liberals......

      Kwik Fit buggered up an A/C leak diagnosis for me (saying there wasn't one, when there was) and sold a regas. The vehicle had to be taken to an A/C specialist for condensor replacement and a further regas. Not impressed.

      Yes, these are all good points. I agree with you, that division has led us down dangerous paths in the past. And I deplore any kind of racism (as I think you probably know).  But I feel that a lot of the current wave of xenophobia we're witnessing is actually more about a general malaise and discontent. I know non-white people around here who are surprisingly vocal about immigrants - legal or otherwise. I think this feeling transcends skin colour for a lot of people and isn't as simple as, say, the Jew hatred of the 1930s or the Irish and Black racism that we saw laterally. I think people feel ignored and looked down upon.  What you don't realise, Sephiroth, is that I actually agree with a lot of what you're saying. I just think that looking down on people because of their voting history and opinions is self-defeating. And that's where Labour's getting it wrong and Reform is reaping the rewards.

      The economy, a sensible debate in advance of the budget

      By malumbu · Posted

      @Sephiroth you made some interesting points on the economy, on the Lammy thread. Thought it worth broadening the discussion. Reeves (irrespective of her financial competence) clearly was too downbeat on things when Labour came into power. But could there have been more honesty on the liklihood of taxes going up (which they have done, and will do in any case due to the freezing of personal allowances).  It may have been a silly commitment not to do this, but were you damned if you do and damned if you don't?
